Installing OpenACS via Darwinports

Installing OpenACS via Darwinports

I’ve created a Darwinports installation for OpenACS. (What is
Darwinports?). This will allow you to set up a quick test installation
to try out OpenACS. I wouldn’t recommend it for a production (or even a
development) server. For those purposes, I’d strictly follow the OpenACS
documentation.

Download my OpenACS portfiles and stick them in your local darwinports
repository. If you don’t already have a local darwinports repository,
create one and add its location to /opt/local/etc/ports/sources.conf (I
use file:///Users/vinod/dports-dev). Here’s the steps I took to get
everything to work (on Mac OS X Panther).
